From the Back Cover

Dear Friend,

So many of our sweetest memories are about cookies. There's Mom's cookie jar, brim-full of fresh-baked cookies, and chocolatey brownies at summer picnics. Of course, it wouldn't be Christmas without lots of cut-out cookies, loaded with frosting and sprinkles!

For Best-Ever Cookies we've gathered most-requested recipes like Peanut Butter Criss-Crosses and Mama's Gumdrop Cookies to bake for family & friends. Everyone will cheer for All-American cookies like Bananas Foster Bars and Down-East Whoopie Pies. For chocolate lovers, we've included brownies galore...Triple Fudgy Brownies, Peppermint Patty Brownies...yum! For year 'round holiday fun, try Irish Cream Bars, Yankee Doodles, Pumpkin Patch Brownies and Yuletide Toffee Squares. And we all love old-fashioned Ginger Spice Crinkles and Orange Drop Cookies from Grandma's recipe box.

Big-batch recipes like Cowboy Cookies (it makes 10 dozen!) are perfect for bake sales and potlucks. If time is short, whip up Crispy Peanut Butter Balls (no baking required!) or Pumpkin Pillows made easy with cake mix. For folks on special diets, you'll even find Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies and Low-Fat Key Lime Bars.

We've included clever tips for baking and sharing cookies, plus copy & color tags to make gift-giving extra special. So grab a big glass of ice-cold milk...

It's cookie time!
